Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] In this embodiment, as Figures 2-5 As shown, a tire includes a crown 10, a bead 40 is provided on one side of the crown 10 for contacting a mounting rim to secure the tire to the rim, a sidewall 20 is provided on the outer side of the bead 40 and extends radially outward along the bead 40 to the crown 10, and a carcass reinforcement 30 is provided on the sidewall 20 near the bead 40.

[0029] It also includes a rubber reinforcement 50, which is disposed between the carcass reinforcement 30 and the sidewall 20, and is formed circumferentially along the bead 40. The rubber reinforcement 50 is connected to the sidewall 20, the bead 40 and the carcass reinforcement 30. The rubber reinforcement 50 is made of a rubber mixture. The elastic modulus E' and viscous modulus E” of the rubber mixture at 60°C meet certain conditions: E”≤0.3*E”*(E'-0.4*E”)-0.4MPa. The loss factor E” / E' of the rubber mixture at 60°C is set to tanδ, that is, tanδ≤0.05. The elastic modulus E', viscous modulus E” and tanδ are dynamic properties known to those skilled in the art.

[0030] Among them, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, it also includes a reinforcing layer 60, which is disposed between the rubber reinforcement 50 and the carcass reinforcement 30. The reinforcing layer 60 is a multi-layer reinforcing layer structure, wherein the length between the endpoints on one side of any two reinforcing layers 60 is set as b, where b is 5-20mm, and the length of any one reinforcing layer 60 is c, where c≥1 / 2L. High-viscosity adhesive is used so that the reinforcing layer 60 can firmly bond the adhesion between the rubber reinforcement 50 and the carcass reinforcement 30 at the lower bead of the tire, thereby reducing shear force, improving the dispersion of circumferential adhesion force of the bead 40, improving premature delamination of the bead, and enhancing the durability of the bead 40.

[0031] Among them, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the rubber reinforcement 50 can be combined with the tire sidewall 20 through precise production positioning. It can be directly produced by the tire sidewall extruder, which facilitates the improvement of production quality and efficiency. The distance from the horizontal axis of the tire section to the baseline of the bead 40 is set as L, and the distance between the center point of the rubber reinforcement 50 and the rim protection point is set as a, where a is 15±3mm. This can reduce the friction between the bead 40 and the bead protector 22, so that the rubber reinforcement 50 has the characteristics of low heat generation and high viscosity modulus.

[0032] Among them, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the tire crown 10 includes a tread rubber layer 11 and a tire crown reinforcement 12. The two ends of the tread rubber layer 11 are respectively connected to the periphery of the tire sidewall 20. The tire crown reinforcement 12 covers the tread rubber layer 11 along the tire circumference. The tire crown reinforcement 12 is formed by steel wire and nylon fiber along the tire circumference.

[0033] Among them, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, the tire bead 40 includes a tire bead wire 41 and a triangular rubber 42. The triangular rubber 42 is located at the end of the tire sidewall 20 and is used to prevent the tire from being damaged by mechanical force, atmospheric action and moisture. The tire bead wire 41 is arranged inside the triangular rubber 42. The tire bead wire 41 is circular and can firmly fix the tire to the rim, so that they are joined together.

[0034] Among them, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the sidewall 20 includes a sidewall rubber 21 and a bead protector 22. The sidewall rubber 21 covers the outside of the triangular rubber 42, and the bead protector 22 is located at one end of the sidewall rubber 21. The parting surface formed by the bead protector 22, the sidewall rubber 21, and the rubber reinforcement 50 extends in the radial direction of the tire and in the inner direction. The sidewall rubber 21 is made of rubber material with a Shore hardness of no more than 52HA in the vulcanized state. Through the reasonable misalignment of the joint positions of each component, the stress in the sidewall 20 is effectively dispersed, the heat concentration in the sidewall 20 is reduced, and the rolling resistance performance of the tire can be improved.

[0035] wherein as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the drawings, the radial height of the whole tire is set as H, the radial height H is defined as the radial distance between the radially innermost point when the tire is mounted on the rim and the radially outermost point of the crown 10, the radial height of the apex 42 is set as KA, 7% H≤KA≤15% H, the radial height of the upper end point of the rubber reinforcing member 50 is set as KB, KB≤25% H, the radial height of the upper end point of the bead filler 22 is set as KC, KC≤20% H, and the rubber reinforcing member 50 and the apex 42.

[0036] According to the present embodiment 1, a known 205 / 55R16 specification tire without the rubber reinforcing member 50 structure is selected to perform a rolling resistance test comparison experiment with the tire in the above embodiment 1. The rolling resistance result of the 205 / 55R16 specification tire is 8.6, and the rolling resistance result of the tire in the present embodiment 1 is 7.5, achieving the purpose of improving the rolling resistance performance of the tire.

[0037] Embodiment 2

[0038] The difference from the embodiment 1 is that, as shown in Figure 7 The reinforcing layer 60 is made of nylon or polyester material, which can improve the rolling resistance performance of the tire.

[0039] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed in the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
